    Introducing Newbies

    Greetings all! It's been an eventful year. One of original girls had some kind of over dose of calcium that caused problems near her ovary and pooping. We got her into the vet just in time. To the tune of $500. 2 wks later, she'd been killed by a racoon. Her buddy, a broody Barnevelder called...

    Resort Run Addition to Farmhouse Coop

    I'm wondering if anyone has bought a coop and Resort Run (separately) and know what modifications are needed to attach it to the run for the coop.

    No Chickens due to HUGE Rat infestation

    Reality has slapped us upside the head. Our brand new dishwasher was destroyed by rats that have camped out under our house. We have neighbors with chickens and have come to the conclusion that it's not in our best interest to continue planning for chickens. It's sad. Several times this...

    Looking for opinions on these runs

    We're considering this type of run, with a large Over EZ coop placed inside. Mainly for the cost. We're in the Portland Oregon area and preds would be from the sky. We do have rats in the area but we're working on that, also, since neighbors have filled in their pond, no possums or raccoons. We...

I've been fretting over the orientation of the coop so I can see the pop door, weather possibilities, size of run, and roofing. I'd appreciate any suggestions, insights or opinions (the flock...

    Run Construction

    We're almost ready to finish our plans for the "Wunderbug Coop & Run". Well, the coop is a large Over EZ coop and will be place up against the run so I have access to the man/woman door and the nest box. The run will be 9' wide and 18' long. There will be a shed 3' away from it, so I wanted the...

    Claret Vine on Run

    I have a pair of Claret Vines that are lovely all year round - ESPECIALLY the autumn! They do set fruit, and I've tasted them and they're good. I THINK they're related to grapes (I mean WHERE does "claret" that people in the olde days used to sip come from?????) I wanted to keep the vines in...

    Part-Time Chicken Mom

    Greetings fellow cluckers. This summer, unbeknownst to us, one of our neighbor's chickens had taken a liking to my husband and I and started hanging around with us in the garage. Earlier in the year, she had gone exploring and we were her new world. Somehow she managed to jump the 6' wood fence...
